Mini Grid-Powered Rural E-Mobility Project: Model Business Case

This Model Business Case (MBC) analyses the financial feasibility of a hypothetical project deploying two-wheeled electric vehicles (EVs) for mobility in a rural community in Nigeria powered by a solar mini-grid (“the Project”). It is assumed that the project sponsor – a private EV operator – will finance, procure and maintain the EVs, and lease the EVs and additional batteries on a daily basis to certified local drivers. The EV operator is also assumed to purchase electricity from the solar mini-grid operator to power its charging station.

Furthermore, this publication emphasises the underlying financing challenges for PUE projects and companies in all application contexts (urban, rural, industrial, food value chain, etc.) and presents recommendations that may be integrated in financiers’ and investors’ approaches to PUE to better support the growth and financial sustainability of the sector.

Recognising that the success of off-grid electrification rests upon solid planning, the Government of Ethiopia developed an updated version of its National Electrification Program (NEP 2.0) in 2019. Ethiopia uses a digitalised master planning approach with numerous tools and cross-checks to designate the most suitable access technology per community throughout the country. The strength of the master plan lies in the combination of a geospatial mapping with cross-referenced and digitised baseline data.
